 of molluscan life. Then all the Natural Orders and 

 Families with most of the Genera and many Species are 

 described and figured, with much information respecting 

 localities where found, mode of life, and the relation 

 of form, colour, and ornamentation to habit.

 Mollusks and a full Index.

 book exists that covers nearly so much ground." —
